The Asus ROG Chimera is a many engaging gaming laptop launch during IFA 2017 so far. Here’s all we need to know.

The ROG Chimera is a world’s initial laptop with a 144Hz display. It’s not mostly we start a laptop specifications outline with a screen, though those who have gifted 144Hz screens will know accurately why. Your normal laptop shade puts out a small 60Hz (60 images each second), that is excellent for many uses though always feels a bit dull when gaming.

Desktop monitors have had this problem solved for years; 75, 100, 120, 144 and 240Hz monitors have been accessible for some time, and make gaming most smoother and some-more responsive-feeling. Laptops have always been a bit behind, and it wasn’t until final year that we started to see a few machines seem with 120Hz displays.
